🧠 Real Case: Mental Health App Leaked User Data

In 2022, a popular mental health app claimed to offer safe, anonymous therapy—but was found selling user data to advertisers.
This included sensitive topics users had shared: anxiety, trauma, even suicidal thoughts.

The worst part? Many users had no idea this was happening behind the scenes.

🔐 What You Can Do:
– Read the privacy policy before sharing anything sensitive (yes, even if it’s long)
– Avoid apps that are free and deal with your personal data—ask how they make money
– Use services that clearly state they don’t sell data or rely on ad revenue
– Be cautious of apps that require account sign-ups before showing any value

Your most private thoughts should never become someone else’s product.
Guard your mind, not just your data.
